How long have you been programming Python?

none

What languages (and how many years experience) do you have with other programming languages?

I have used all of the common languages from the dark ages of computing, i.e., the good old days before Microsoft ruined the computer industry: Assembly, FORTRAN, languages that were used internally at IBM, etc.

Are you interested in casually learning the language, or a more intensive multi-day bootcamp/course?

Both.

Have you gone through any Python tutorials? If so, which ones?

not yet

Introduction

I have heard good things about Python. I probably should have learned it long ago. Programming is a hobby not a job for me now, so it is something I can enjoy again.

Austin has excellent Python meetups for people familiar with the language, so this meetup is for novice and experienced programmers alike who want to learn how to use Python idiomatically and pragmatically to build cool things, from web apps to hardware hacking to data science.

The discussion list is a friendly, local resource for answering your Python questions, and our meetups are designed to be beginner-friendly.
